Chelsea have loads of forwards and need to raise money. Bayern have a certain Harry Kane.

Will he be our ‘saviour’…. I doubt it, I don’t think there is anyone we can afford and attract that would be oir ‘saviour’. Would he be a better fit up front for a De Zerbi team than Richi? I think he would yes

Is he a natural #9 or more of a striker in the same type as Tel etc?

He’s incredibly athletic and not succeeding at Chelsea doesn’t make you a bad player (I’m ignoring his Bayern stint as Haaland wouldn’t displace Kane in that team). I’m surprisingly intrigued by this…🤔

He didn't succeed at Chelsea under Poch, when Poch got most of that side clicking for 2nd half of that season.

He didn't succeed at Bayern where his role was to allow Kane not be overplayed, and he got starts in unimportant games in an extremely dominant team in that league.

He's a CF that has very poor finishing, which means it's not he's a hold up specialist or someone that really focuses on assisting, he just wastes the chances he gets (data says what the eyes see)

I don't see how he would suddenly be better for us than he has been when playing for arguably better teams

It's actually 24 goals in 65 PL games, 8 in 23 for Bayern is even more telling, not what you pay the money they are asking for.

Sure if we just wanted cover and could get a loan, but if it's 40M+, makes more sense to suffer through this season with Richi/Solanke and spend big for the right target (maybe bring in a youth prospect in interim)

Sub a lot in Germany.

8 goals in a thousand minutes is ok. Not on pens either.

Even in the PL, although he was derided, 34 goal involvements in 5000 mins is good (24G/10A). Again, I don’t remember him being on pens.

Hard worker and lively. I’m not totally against it - although the eye test wasn’t great.
